Emotion

Hi All

 

I just wanted to say I have only been doing this for a few days and already I feel an emotional feeling I have carried for many many years is leaving me.I feel so much lighter as a person.I had dreams of a healer helping me release an energy,although its not complete the awareness was given to me

Truly amazing, I speculate it must be shifting my energy and relieving past trauma

Any thoughts greatly appreciated

No More Mild Headaches

Until about two years ago, I neve had trouble with headaches, but then began waking up with very mild ones. I don't suffer from bruxism ,depression, or anything else that morning headaches seem associated with, so I figured some change due to aging (I'm 62) is taking place, and that maybe that change involves sensitivity to blood pressure. So I figured, just as you elevate you hand to decrease bleeding from a bad finger cut, I would elevate the head end of our bed a couple of inches. (The wife didn't even notice.) So I did, and presto--headaches gone!

Osteoarthritis, back and hip pains

I love Inclined Bed Therapy too. I started doing it January 1st and besides sleeping great each night I notice my dreams are more vivid and memorable which could also mean my brain is having an easier time restoring itself due to gravity and blood flow. Maybe that might help prevent Alzheimers in the long run.I used to wake up on a flat bed with shoulder, back and hip pains, but those have been steadily diminishing, and at this rate I think I just may regain my ability to run again. This experience suggests that it could help so many with back and osteo-arthritic problems, and certainly Dr. Mercola should do an article on it. We know too much sitting is bad and sleep is good, but sleeping flat and then waking up feeling pained and cramped in your joints is bad too, and I am happy I stumbled upon this better way.

The mattress industry just wants to sell you a new $2,000 mattress each year, but all you really need is two bed raisers, or books to raise your bed about five or six inches. I think the pull of gravity when sleeping on an incline also keeps the bowels from stagnating, and blood circulation flowing freely to every cell of the body. In short, Inclined Bed Therapy is probably the most important thing I have I have learned in probably my whole life, and I think it could help many people, and cure many problems that people have, and make their nights restful and restorative too, and I thank you for your post, and hope Dr. Mercola writes some articles on it in the future.

Multiple sclerosis, sleep apnea, nocturia

Thank you so much, jcbresnik, for mentioning Inclined Bed Therapy here.  I read several mentions of it in these comments, and Googled and researched it and was very quickly convinced of the importance of sleeping on a 5 degree incline with the head 6 inches higher than the feet.  

I am already experiencing huge improvements in my MS symptoms, and many different areas, after only a few nights sleeping inclined.  It is so nice to wake up clear-headed and without pain for the first time in many years, and to sleep through the night without having to get up 5-10 times to go to the bathroom.  I also don't miss waking up with a puffy face and stuffy nose anymore either.

Finding out about Inclined Bed Therapy, which was discovered and has been researched by Andrew K. Fletcher since 1994, has been a huge blessing and something I hope everyone will try.  We are not meant to sleep lying flat, and it is a very easy thing to correct which in turn creates extensive health benefits.

Thanks to everyone else who mentioned it here.   And just to add to the list of things it can be very helpful for - Snoring, Sleep Apnea, GERD, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Spinal Cord Injury, Chronic Sinusitis and Bronchitis, Fibromyalgia, Muscle Pain,Varicose Veins etc...

When I was a teenager, my orthodontist diagnosed me as a "tongue-thruster" and told me that it was the reason my teeth were crowded - because normally when the tongue is kept in its proper position pressing against the roof of the mouth, it helps the palate expand properly.  As a tongue-thruster, my palate did not expand as much as it should have.  I am somewhat better at keeping my tongue where it's supposed to be, but I still have to think about it sometimes.

I used to have sleep apnea problems, especially while lying on my back.  As soon as I would start to fall asleep, my tongue would relax and block my airway apparently, and I would waken with a jolt.

A couple years ago, I read a comment on this forum recommending "inclined bed therapy" for MS and other problems like circulation issues and snoring.  Raising the head of my bed so that I sleep at an incline has improved many of my problems and I can now fall asleep on my back without sleep apnea issues.  I also sleep much better because another side effect of inclined bed therapy is that I don't have to get up to urinate ten or more times a night as I often had done before.  I really do believe sleeping inclined is the natural way to sleep.

Relapsing remitting ms, nocturia,snoring, acid reflux, neuropathic pain

Dear Andrew
My husband raised the head of our bed because he had heard about the benefits of it on the radio. He suffered from really bad snoring and acid reflux and going to the toilet several times a night. His energy levels were at an all time low and was really irritable because his sleep was interrupted so much. WOW - since raising the bed head his snoring (which kept waking me up) has dramatically improved as well as his acid reflux and doesn't get up to go to the loo as much. He has a lot more energy and isn't as irritable. But that is just half the story. I suffer from relapse remitting MS and the benefits I have gained is more than what any GP could have done for me. I sleep through the night instead of being wakened with acute leg pain, I have more energy and I actually feel refreshed and rested in a morning. I also go to sleep almost straight away instead of tossing and turning in pain. I will be contacting my consultant and MS nurse as well as my local MS group to tell them about the benefits of raising the head of the bed. I hope that you get the recognition that you deserve for your work into this and am amazed that you haven't yet had it.

Tony Moran & Andrew K Fletcher Interview with Andy Young and Jason Holmes on RN.

This Tuesday Andy & Jason were delighted to Welcome back Andrew K Fletcher the originator of Inclined Bed Therapy along with the new WBF Cruiser Weight World Champion to tell us how IBT played a huge part in Tony’s remarkable  championship whilst homeless at the age of 42 !!!!

Tony was unable to join us at the very start of the show as he had a prior engagement but we started off with Jason telling Andrew about the marvelous benefits he has had with his health since he inclined his bed a couple of months ago.

Jason has seen huge improvements in his sleep pattern, quality of sleep and also his problem with ALS also known as sticky blood.

We then talked with Andrew about other successes people have had by this simple and inexpensive method of simply elevating the head of ones bed by 6 inches or 15cm.

After a short while Tony was able to join us and he told us why Inclined Bed Therapy was so important to him and how it had changed his fighting career in such a massive way.

Tony told us how it has helped him to sleep better and feel fresher in the morning but also to recover from fatigue and injuries much faster than he had previously.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Tony and Andrew for both making time to speak to us and also, as always, thanks to all our listeners for their loyal support.

You can check out Andrew’s research and his many testimonials from those he has helped on his Inclined Bed Therapy website.

Edema / Dreams

T2 diabetic.  Came home from a travel nightmare to find I'd lost my ankles.  First time I've had edema and it scared me, so I went looking for information.  I found IBT.  I figured it couldn't hurt, right?  I have books underneath the head of the bed.  First night, the edema went down by 50%, second night 90%, and was gone by the third night.  I made no other changes.  It's been three weeks now and I noticed something ele.  I haven't dreamt in years, but have been consistently dreaming with IBT.  I see that someone else reports the same thing -- does anyone have a theory on this?  I still have "fuzzy feet" on waking, but nerve damage doesn't get fixed overnight.

Severe Inflammation Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue,

I have to say how impressed I am with Andrew K Fletcher for all the work he does to promote this amazing technique as a free health recalibrator. Thank you Andrew with all my heart.

A friend on Facebook shared Andrews website and I diligently began researching all the information. I have suffered with severe Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and ElectroHypersensitivity. It took me four years to work out that wireless frequencies from mobile phones/Wi-Fi and towers were triggering the Fibromyalgia and leaving me almost completely incapacitated for months on end. The whole upper half of my body was consistently inflammed throughout all the Lymph nodes, arms, neck and shoulder blades for years. After isolating myself from the public, I managed to control my condition and manage the occassional exposure but the chronic inflammation remained. I have been an avid researcher, convinced I was going to find a cure for my problems so when I came across Andrews message, and that he was giving this information away for free, I jumped straight in. I raised my bed 3 inches for a few days at my place and at my partners place. Then a few days later, I raised my bed at home by another 3 inches.

I went to my partners and slept on the bed that was only raised 3 inches and the next morning I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. I then raised the bed to 6 inches and have maintained that diligently for approx 7 weeks now. My energy went up, I starting sleeping through the night, and I never needed to get up for the toilet anymore. Something amazing happened then. Almost all the inflammation in the upper half of my body went down, or more to the point, it moved down. I got a flare up of Fibro in my stomach, lower back, and legs and it took me 2 weeks to recognize what it was as I wasn't used to getting it there.

It took 3 weeks to recover from it and I added a Chinese Medication that reduces inflammation too. The inflammation has now gone down right through my body and I am convinced that this has happened due to the Thunder God Vine and Inclined Bed Therapy.

My physical reaction to electromagnetic frequencies has changed too. Before if i was out anywhere and someone started using a phone near me, I would have to move about 50 metres away to stop feeling it. Now I move 7 metres and I can't feel it. Before, when the phones got me, the inflammation was there for months and would take hours of painful massages while I screamed into a pillow to recover. Now it takes hours to get the inflammation down without the painful massages. I can't tell you how much of an improvement this is.

I was also diagnosed recently with a severe H.Pylori infection. It was evident the infection had been there for approx 50 years. After treating it, I suffered from severe Gastritis. I obviously have developed stomach ulcers. The H.Pylori had managed to shut most of my Liver detox pathways down and my Thyroid. Although I'd managed to reverse the Hashimotos naturally, my Thyroid was so inflammed on the left side, I was going to get it ultrasounded again as it felt as though there were nodules on it. This was when I raised my bed and all the inflammation went down in my upper body. This included the left side of my Thyroid and I now have no swelling at all. In fact, I think raising my bed has helped with restoring both my Thyroid and my Liver detox pathways as both appear to be working better than they have in years.

I can't recommend Inclined Bed Therapy enough to people and I just nominated Andrew for the Ted talks award. I believe if Andrew could win the money, he could get this message out to so many more people worldwide. I'll be praying he does.

A MIRACLE Chronic Back Pain

Following a schoolboy prank 50 years ago i have endured chronic back pain which has fluctuated between painful and unbearable pain. this has impacted so adversely on my life in many many areas. i have visited osteopaths and chiropractors on numerous occasions (sometimes once a week for extended periods) but have found this only to be a tempoary fix. for 50 years i thought that this was the best i would feel.

then in february 2016 i read about andrew's inclined bed therapy and agreed with the website 'what have i got to lose?' within days i was totally pain free - a miracle had happened!! i cannot emphasise just how beneficial this has been to my life - the only downside being that i have become a pest, extoling the virtues of IBT to those who will listen and to those who dont want to listen - they all get the same miraculous story!

to date i have several friends/family who have tried IBT and they all report improvements. all praise to Andrew, i cannot thank him enough.

Better recovery after just 1 week

I have been doing I B T for just over a week now and already I have noticed a difference in having a better nights sleep . 

I also play a lot of sport mainly tennis and as people who play tennis will be aware that the injuries you can get through playing the beautiful game can be really disheartening! Shoulder/elbow/wrist/back/knee to name just A few ! So the next day after a hard match can sometimes be painful but since doing the I B T after just one week I have noticed that I am not as sore as I once was getting out of bed . 

I think when you do the research on I B T it makes complete sense so for anyone sceptical on it just give it a try as not only will you get a better night sleep but if you're a keen sportsperson your recovery time will be a lot quicker . 

 

Once again big thanks to Andrew K fletcher and Tony Moran for putting me wise to this .

IBT also good for short term Inversion therapy

I have JUST discovered that I can lie the wrong way on my bed and get the EXACT same benefits I get using my inversion table! Holy moly!!

I've been sleeping on an incline for many years and probably couldn't sleep flat even if I wanted to BUT I got an inversion table when I heard that a woman had "cured" her carpal tunnel with one and it worked! But it's so big that it really needs its own room so when you take it down and put it up and take it down it gets to be a chore so I put it off.

I've always known that you don't have to hang completely upside down to get the traction/yoga-type benefits of an inversion table but it only recently ocurred to me that I might be able to get by with laying the wrong way on my bed and it WORKED!! I haven't been this excited since my carpal tunnel went away!! Holy moly!!

My bed is just over 6 inches at the head - here's what I do after being hunched over a computer keyboard all day: I lie on my back with my head at the FOOT of the bed. Then I do a couple of partial situps to over come the softness of the mattress. Then I put my arms straight over my head and stretch. Then twist my upper body one way and stretch, the other way and stretch, then pull my knees up to my chest for just a few seconds and BOOM! I feel like a new woman!!

I'm SO excited to have discovered this!! I had to share!!

Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis M.S

Date: Sun, Feb 26 2006 7:56 am From: "Andrew K Fletcher"

 

Good News! I'm Finally Getting Good Results.,Monday 14-Jun-1999

 

I've been doing the inclined bed since January.I've had M.S.for over 20 years -diagnosed in 1986 as relapsing-remitting M.S. Two years ago I had a serious attack and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks paralysed from the waist down-no feeling and no motion.

 

After a couple of months of steroids and other drugs I became able to walk first with a walker and then with a cane very short distances. I was still left with lots of fatigue weak legs balance problems painful pins and needles in the legs and feet abdominal muscle spasms, incontinence and sleepless nights.

 

My diagnosis became secondary progressive M.S. I decided to get off all drugs (much to my neurolist's dismay). I then found Betty Iams on the computer and began her regimen of strict diet exercise supplements meditation and I've added acupuncture. It feels great to be in control. This is a lifetime regimen for me. I'd been coasting along not getting better but not getting worse when I read about the inclined bed.

 

I decided to try it-what could I lose? Right away the painful abdominal muscle spasms started to subside and sleep became somewhat better. Then nothing happened. Then I started getting worse. I decided to give up the inclined bed -this after 3 months. One problem however-I can't sleep on a flat bed anymore!

 

Andrew wrote for me to hang in there that it was expected that I get worse before I get better. Everyday I waited. Then like Andrew said I started getting better and better. This past month has been amazing!I even walked up and down a flight of stairs with my cane unaided.

 

Fatigue has gone the abdominal muscle spasms have gone the painful pins and needles are subsiding leg strength is getting better so that I can walk greater distances and balance is much better. I still have incontinence and sleep problems but given time I know those problems will be gone too. One very interesting thing happened with my eyes recently. I'm very near-sighted and had my prescription for my contacts checked 3 months ago. Last week I went back to the eye doctor's complaining that I just couldn't see. He checked my eyes again and much to his amazement he found that they had improved greatly since my check-up 3 months ago! I wrote Andrew about this happening and he feels that sleeping on an inclined bed can help the optic nerve to regenerate and repair the damage of long term M.S.

 

Let me encourage anyone who is trying the inclined bed to stick with it and don't think it won't work. I'm proof it can. My whole family and I are so grateful to Andrew Fletcher. Liz Steinbrueck

GERD Acid reflux + Angle Calculation

G'day;

I noticed that a mistake is often made in this and other websites about IBT. Advice is often given about using the length of the bed to calculate the correct magical 5 degree angle.  That advice is quite misleading.  The distance that must be used is the distance between the legs near the head of the bed and the legs near the foot of the bed -- not the length of the bed.  For example, my bed is 200 cm long, but the distance between legs is only 141 cm.

I used a CAD program to precisely calculated the required length of the legs at the foot of my bed, while retaining the original legs near the head of the bed, in order to achieve a 5 degree angle.  I have uploaded that drawing as an image titled 'Bed Angle Calculation', in case it is of any interest to anyone else.  

The bed is a Wenatex bed, in case anyone is wanting to modify that brand of bed.

I consttucted tdhe legs from 90 mm downpipe PVC, and the materials cosst about $ 20 AUS or about $ 15 US.

I have also (hopefully, successfully) uploaded photos entitled 'Installed Bed Leg', 'Bed Leg Assembly', and 'Bolt Through Slide-on Cap' to give more details.  

If anyone wants any more details about fabricating the legs, feel free to send an email to hughpittman@yahoo.com.au.

While I am here, I might also mention a clear-cut benefit of IBT.  I haven't seen it mentioned eleswhere, although I have not read all posts, so I might have missed it.  IBT helps reduce or eliminate gastric reflux.  This is not hard to understand. Gravity moves the contents of the stomach down away from the inlet valve at the top of the stomach when a person lays down with their head higher that than their stomach.

Cheers,

Hugh

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Constipation

Jo has had years of trouble with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) we've tried everything natural, but she doesn't have a bowel movement for 3 days at a time, and her record is 9 days.

The very morning after I inclined the bed she had a bowel movement as soon as she got up and again later on in the afternoon and she has been regular every day since, apart from the night we slept on the flat hotel bed in Glasgow.

But the morning after we slept back in our own inclined bed and she started being regular again. So from sharing your knowledge you have cured her of bloat, constipation and pain. Obviously she feels better for this as she was always fatigued and uncomfortable. So we both thank you for this and maybe you could pass that info on to Andrew K fletcher.

Gout, Inflamation, Uric acid

I've been on IBT for sixteen months to the writing of this testimonial. At first I was definitely skeptical of any sort of therapy, but I figured the best way to know was to try it. I mostly wanted to try this because people have sworn that it alleviates inflammatory attacks in their body. It makes sense that with improved circulation and the sorts of bodily filtration that's aided by gravity occurring with this, can improve blood composition as well as functions.

                            I've yet to actually test any longer term effects on my body, but the more noticeable ones are just overall feeling of wellness when you wake up even after a bad night of sleep or say when you've had much to drink. I rarely get those bad hangovers, instead I feel more effectively hydrated than I did sleeping on a flat surface.

                                                  When it comes to inflammatory attacks, it's been a great response. I had usually suffered chronic bouts of gout flares. I've dealt and maintained it with antiinflammatories and allopurinol. Without having much done physical exercise and with an unimproved diet, I haven't experienced an inflammatory attack for a while even after being off of allopurinol for months. Can I definitively say that IBT helped me get rid of gout? No, but I'm saying better circulation certainly did a part in preventing attacks, by making sure my circulation is kept at a constant flow and balancing any excess acids that may contribute. My blood panel as well as lipid panels have been improved according to my doctor since my last visit before I've started this. I've yet to determine if in the longer term, this applies, but I definitely encourage sufferers of gout to try this and see if they feel the same experiences. I'm looking forward to making another testimony in a bout a year or two after adding another inch to my inclination.
